Down by seven at halftime, Northeastern (4-12, 1-1) started the second period with a 21-10 run to put the Huskies up 50-43 with 10:37 to play. The Dragons came back to lead by three in the final seconds but the Huskies' Demetrius Pollard hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer tying the game 67-67 and sent it into overtime.

With the score 76-76 in the second overtime, Fouch scored 11 points—including a pair of 3-pointers—to give the Dragons a six-point edge with 13 seconds to play. A Scott Eatherton layup for the Huskies as time ran out could not make up the deficit.
